‘Remember who you work for, for, remember who you represent,’ say First Nations youth.

EXCERPT: "Jeronimo Kataquapit, a 21-year-old filmmaker and land protector who led a group of 20 youth from First Nations in northern Ontario was denied entry to a meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and First Nation leaders from across the country.

Kataquapit set up a camp on the Attawapiskat River to oppose the development in an area of northern Ontario called the Ring of Fire.

The group didn’t try to force their way in but refused to leave the front of the building, saying they wanted to be heard inside.

The youth, who arrived in Ottawa on Monday by bus, said they oppose all development on their lands.

“ Does he feel good about what he’s doing to our land? Does he not care about us?” asked Courtney Paulmartin, 17, who was accompanied by her grandfather, Jack Linklater Sr. . . . ."
